"Miss Ivanna, did you notice something weird around you when you were together?", the cop questions.
"No, nothing weird", she says.
"Okay. And according to you Mr Christian, you have no rival. Anyway, you guys were at the most expensive resort that night. But you were saying this both of you are students and belong to middle-class families. Can't digest that you can afford such an expensive resort?", he frowns.
"Actually, it wasn't arranged by us" Iva mutters, she hasn't noticed me yet as I'm at the door.
"Then?"
"It was actually....", she strives to say when her eyes reach me. We share blank eye contact. "It was a gift from Mr Adavan on Christian's birthday", she says, looking at me as
Christian"You've grown up so much, babe", I frown, looking at her angrily. She lied to me. What was the need for lying? Moreover, she went to a police bureau first time, alone."I...", she mutters and immediately comes to me. "I knew you wouldn't let me go. So...""So, you will lie?", I glare at her. "Do you think I would force my decision on you? I won't let you go if you asked me? Am I so bad?"I didn't say that", she exclaims."Let it be", I shove her hand from mine. I wonder if she can lie to me without any hesitation, what will she do in future? She can lie on big things and easily hide it behind her smile. And I'm dumb enough to melt.
AdavanI get into my room and remember the fucking experience with the policeman. What does he think of himself? He was charging me as if I did that. Well, yes, I did that but why is he suspecting me? I haven't left any clue. I chose a dark place to attack him, I went by an SUV which is not even mine. Then why the heck he is doubting on me?I scoff, sitting on the bed. I need to dismiss the case soon. Otherwise, it'll hamper my mind.I take my phone and call the doctor who was treating Christian."Dr Nina. It's Adavan Gomez", I snap."Mr Adavan", she exclaims. "What a pleasant surprise! What makes you call me?""Actually, I wanna
ChristianWhen I woke up, I didn't find Ivanna. I thought she left. I didn't mind her leaving without letting me know. She must be getting late and generally, she couldn't wake me up. I would've done the same. I got a note beside my pillow written by her,"Wanted to wake you up and get a forehead kiss from you. But I had to adjust with a stolen kiss. Sorry for stealing a kiss from you. I hope you would be punishing me sweeter for that. Miss you- your little thief"Why is she so cute? I giggled, looking at the note.As I put it under my pillow, I heard the sound of the door. I immediately look up and discover the doctor.
IvannaFrom the day, my connection with Adavan leaked in the college, these girls are trying to be close to me. I don't know what they want. Was I worthless before I met Adavan? Money and power can buy friendship. This is what I learnt. If she was my true friend, at least a good friend, she would've never insulted my relationship.Being frustrated I sat on the bench outside the building."You can take mine", Piyali holds her notes before me as I look up. My glare attacks her."I don't need it. Thanks for the concern", I shrug and look away. I'm missing Ava so much today. Among all the people around me, I feel so lonely without her.Piyali sits beside me and holds my shoulder."I'm
IvannaVenessa's words had affected me. When Christian talked like that, Venessa's words flashed in my mind. Why would I do it? I don't know about habits and addictions. However, I can accept that Christian is my addiction which I can not give up. I'll think about him and talk about him for hours. I don't need anyone else to explore. What will I do by exploring? I'm living in my tiny world which is enough for me."I was just frustrated", I tell him, playing with my fingers, locking with each other."Come here", he says in a gentle voice.I go to him, lowering my head and sit on the bed. He cups my face."It was hectic, no?", he asks, rubbing his thumb on my cheek as I shake my head.
IvannaAs his body brushed against mine, I shiver terribly in contempt. In the darkness, I can hardly see him but I try my best to push him away. However, he is strong enough to hold me even when he is drunk. I struggle to shove him while sensing the disgusting smell of alcohol so close to me."Mr Adavan", I finally spit out. "What are you doing?""Holding you", he grumbles, taking another shot from his bottle.Fear is controlling on my body and soul, witnessing the situation. I wanna leave from here, I scream into my mind."Please leave me", I stammer, my voice breaks."I don't hold anything to leave", he grasps. His heavy scary
Ivanna"Please hug me tight", I whimper."Yes", he hugs me tight and rubs my back. "Your hairs are wet. Did you take a shower? What happened to you baby? Tell me. It's disturbing me", he becomes nervous and at the same time afraid too."I...I...", I can't speak and keep sobbing."Did you had a nightmare?", he asks and I shake my head. It was not less than a nightmare."Sssshhh.. Don't cry", he caresses my hairs. "I'm here with you", he gently kisses on my forehead, washing away all the disgust from my body."Chris!", I whine."Yeah", he answers, caressing my back.
Ivanna"Actually... I.. it happened last night. After coming from the shower I was trying to blow dry my hairs. So, the dryer touched my neck", I lie."Really?", he exclaims."Yeah. So, I left it and came beside you to sleep", I mumble. I hope he believes. He catches me every time I lie.I lower my eyes, preparing myself for more questions. He gets up and cups my face, his eyes glued to my neck. He looks at it intensely, lightly touching the band-aid. I just stare at him and his concern filled face."You should be careful", he says, looking at my neck. "Did it burn too much?""No", I sigh as he trusted my words.
